Man is known by the silence he keeps
I do not choose to be a common man
It is my right to be uncommon...if I can,
I seek opportunity...not security
I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and
dulled by having the state look after me
I want to take the calculated risk
To dream and to build
To fail and to succeed
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole
I prefer the challenges of life
The quarantined existence in the upper level
The thrill of fulfillment in the calm state of utopia
I will not trade freedom for confinement in thinking
Nor my dignity for a handout
I will never cower before any matter
Nor bend to any threat
It is my heritage to stand erect
Proud and unafraid to think and act for myself
To enjoy the benefits of my creation
And face the world boldly and say
This with the power of reason
All this is what meant to be...
a human
Thanks to my generous brod Omar (Om-om) for the Pro Account!

"Chris, I believe, is already a photographic stalwart in his own way. Definitely one of the best amongs millions of flickerites around.
His photographs makes sense. Thought-provoking. Genuine. Photojournalistic -brutally honest. I respect this guy. His sense of humour is infectious. His humility, genuine.
If you haven't browsed his streams yet, you are definitely missing out, big time! Chris, we haven't met, yet. But I definitely have it in my list to meet you when I am home.
Keep up the good work my brother. Scream your self through your photos - don't worry, they're listening already. :)
Mabuhay ka!!!"6th July, 2008
